| 512146 | 2007-01-02 19:43:00 | I have a Firefly usb pen-drive type thing plugged into my tower right at this time, and somehow, when I click on it thru My Computer, it has become a folder called "Administrator's Documents" . . . The association with the Firefly has been corrupted and now my M drive is just a folder . The desktop icon works well . . and actually opens the Firefly ok . . . but if I "Explore" the M drive, it opens up that Admin folder instead . I cannot get to M properties from the desktop icon, nor can I get to it from My Computer . . as it cannot even see the M drive in My Computer at all . Actually, both the L & M drives are missing in My Computer . I didn't even know I had an L drive . Any ideas and help would be appreciated . . . thanks |

| 512147 | 2007-01-02 23:40:00 | What happens if you go to "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\" and right click > Properties on the folder called "Administrator's Documents"?? | johcar (6283) | ||
| 512148 | 2007-01-03 00:37:00 | I get what appears to be a normal Properties card...with 77 files, 51 folders and Read Only checked.....6.23 meg uon disk and no mention of the M drive even drilling down further into the drive. | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 512149 | 2007-01-03 02:00:00 | When the thumb-drive is plugged in, can you see it via Device Manager, or the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the SYSTRAY? | johcar (6283) | ||
| 512150 | 2007-01-03 02:51:00 | It's there and recognized ok...in the tray and the device manager..... | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 512151 | 2007-01-03 03:34:00 | Try the Troubleshooter from Properties button in "Safely Remove Hardware" | johcar (6283) | ||
| 512152 | 2007-01-03 04:01:00 | Try going into disk management under "Manage" from the right-click menu on My Computer & changing the drive letter assigned to your flash drive | Greven (91) | ||
| 512153 | 2007-01-03 07:31:00 | There IS NO letter assigned to it! It doesn't exist in that profile at all . . . I can see it in the SYSTRAY in the SAFELY REMOVE HARDWARE area, and in the Hardware Manager etc, but not anywhere in My Computer with left or right clicks . I still have the icon on the desktop, and can drag files to and from it . . . but it never appears in the drive areas like it used to . When I unplug or plug it in, I get the sound notice that I have done so; the BIOS is recognizing it allright . . . . . |
